WORLD CHAMPION
PITTSBURGH STEELERS
 SUPER BOWL XL CHAMPIONS

The World Champion Pittsburgh Steelers returned to Pittsburgh for a Super Bowl XL Victory Parade through downtown Pittsburgh two days after their 5th Super Bowl win. The streets were packed with an estimated quarter million Steelers faithful from all over the Steeler Nation. The parade route was packed with fans of all ages.
       
Steelers fans had the opportunity to cheer 'Big Ben' Roethlisberger, Jerome 'The Bus' Bettis, Super Bowl XL MVP Hines Ward, linebacker Joey Porter, and most of the other Steeler players. The Super Bowl trophy was carried and displayed by Jerome Bettis, while his mother Gladys filmed the parade.
